Notes:

Often the second top comment will be a reply to this tangentially related image or video. Said reply will have no relevance to the post itself, only being related to the tangential context imported by the original comment.

In my experience, image- and video-based comments seem to get more upvotes than text-based comments in general, even if the content is the same.

I feel like this is at least a small issue but can't remember seeing anyone else speak up about it. Therefore, please make use of this passive-agressive genericist reductionist DOM edit.
